Public School House Question.

Apropos of the proposition to build q
new free school building for our city, it il
reported there is a majority of our city
council oppose. With all due respect tc
these gentlemen permit me to give few
''facts in the case"
1t is obvious that the demand of our city
is n good rock or brick school building,
costing with necessary apparatus, not less
than $40, 900, and the question is how can
or how shall we raise the amount?
answer, "by issuing city bonds and levying
tax for their payment"
Our present ad valorem assessment is
800, 900 which may be taxed for the school
purpose, 25cts., on each 300 per year.
This will give us $l750 annually. Now
from this amount deduct'$600 as interest
(for presume our city can barrow money
at per cent } it will leave 81. $50 to be
applied as sinking fund. And each year
this amount can be loaned to reliable citizens
at from 10 to II per cent interest. This
you see will in a few years pay us out of
debt, and we will have a building and l
trust school we eau point to with pride.
And not only this but such accommodations
will induce other people to settle among us.
In this case, and in fact, in oil probability,
judging from the present outlook. our city
will be growing in population and incidental
value making the amount received each
year more than the preceding one.
might allude with anything but pride to
our present inadequate school buildings, but
I refrain. merely want to ''set the ball
arolling" to ventilate this subject, for ven
ture to assert that the measure advised will
result in "the greatest good to the greatest
number"
Hoping some one will more ably continue
this subject, remain,
Yours for free schools,

strain the opposition in the City Council to

doctor, merchant, bachelor, lawyer OF
missionary" choose this day which you will
be.
Commencement began Friday evening,
the little folks acquitted themselves with
honor, and "Little Shaking Quakers" quite
carried the house,
Monday morning music and calisthenics
constituted the programme. while Monday
night prize readers and speakers held the
fort.
The Trial of Reuben Dunbar and Bardell
VS.. Pickwick, came through with flying
oolors, while the Painter of Seville and the
Bridal Feast were all that heart could wish
or mind desire.
ooh, Rome! thou hast been tender nurse
to me-" Tom Cox quite excelled himself.
We were deeply touched by the sad fate
of McLeans's Child, while the dashing ride
of Jennie McNeill awoke in us desire to
''go and do likewise"
With bated breath and eager ear we lis
tened to the sobbing moan, "Oh, dear! oh,
dear! and I'm. SO weary now, and its 30 dark
and cold"
The audience was alternately convulsed
with laughter at the pranks of the Merry
Mice at Play, and reused by the stirring,
'On! Men of Quebec, on! Saratoga is
Won!"
The "Onehoss Shay" showed up in grand
style.
''Silence along the line there; not o
Whisper" and silence reigned supreme
throughout that vast audience.
We are proud of our speakers. They
have acted well their parts but, bark! the
tinkling of memory's bell reminds us that
the Seniors, those august personagee, for
whom Commencement is especially design
ed, are filing ''slowly but surely" as be-
comes their dignity, on the stage And lol
as one by one they take their stand, and
the tones of their melodious voices fall on
the ears of the listening multitude, where,
oh wherel is the boosted pride and glory of
the prize speakers? All! Pride goeth be-
fore fall, and hanghty spirit before de-
struction," and their pride is humbled to
the dust and "has vanished like mist at the
coming of day."
Those seniors VINO mad the great honor OF
reading on Wednesday, considered them
selves almost placed on an equal footing
with Judge Kittrell, the orator of the day.
And still we are cheered in our moments of
sadness and our Joy is increased in our mo-
ments of gladness, by visions of THERE
ception.

state that only three times within five

, Major Brooker, leading prohibitions

Mayor Callaghan aud sundry other member
of the city government arrested under the
United States law for completely In the late
moboeratio proceedings In that city. The
case has been in progress before the u. 3.
Commissioner for about week, and as we
write is still in progress. Mayor Callaghan
at first refused to give bond. and sought to
treat the matter with contempt and deris'
ion, but Afterwards thought better of II, and
with his associates gave bond. The testi-
mony shows that the mayor was present
during the lawless proceedings, and made
no effort TO maintain order, but on the con.
trary laughed over the affair rs good joke.
We venture to say he does not regard It as
so funny by this time. Whatever may be
the result, the bringing Of the suit was
proper thing. 1t will teach the city govern
ment of San Antonio that they cannot give
practical sympathy to the hoodlum element
on U. s. soil with impunity.
Foe the FREE Press
Women as Temperance Lecturers.
We are sorry to see that In this day of
light aud knowledge, even here in Texas,
where the ravages of liquor selling and
drinking are so well known, there are
those who are opposed to hearing the voice
of women speaking in public on the sub
ject of temperance. Now we believe II any
persons have cause to 'cry aloud and spare
not" In this temperance campaign, they GER
tainly are the women Of our land. None
have to suffer from the scourge Of intem-
perance like women; victimized as they
too often are by the horrors Of inebriate
husbands, brothers and sons. Surely, of
all others, women, so long crushed by the
burden. of this great evil, should be encour-
aged to labor in this cause with voice and
pen, and every legitimate means for the
purpose Of helping on this great and much
needed reform.
The W. G. T. u have done and are do
ing noble work in this line, and SO far,
the few female lecturers who have come
into our state, we think, have been we'll
received. We hope that the time is at hand
when not an objection, by even few, will
be raised against the platform efforts of
good women and true; who, armed III de-
fence of temperance, seek to fight and as
sist in vanquishing this demon of evil, whose
victims have been slain by thousands on
every side. MARY @. BILLINGS.
